Nevada Robotics

with support from and the Nevada Agricultural Foundation offered a Books and Bots refresher course for . Books and Bots workshops utilize storybooks and coding to teach learning concepts. Douglas County PreK - 5th grade teachers used robots as tools and explored ways to teach computer science, literacy, and math standards. The workshop's featured book was Right This Very Minute: A table-to-farm book about food and farming by Feeding Minds Press. All trainees received books for their classrooms and for their 437 students to grow their home libraries. Happy reading!

At Nevada Robotics, our vision is a Nevada education system where all students have early and equal access to engaging and quality computer science instruction to build a foundation for their success in STEM classes, majors, and jobs.

To all of the teachers across the state who are using robots as tools to teach computer science standards and critical skills such as problem solving, computational thinking, teamwork, communication, and perseverance, we say "you are amazing; thank you for learning new skills, being vulnerable, showing creativity and innovation, and showing up for your students every day!"
